Comedic Relief: Anakin Skywalker x Reader

A/N: requested by @1Mando (hi ily, I had really shite motivation this week so I hope this is good enough 😬) this is kind of set somewhere in the middle of the clone wars, basically the old senator for y/n's planet died of old age and she's been elected as the new one except some people don't agree with this so Anakin is sent to protect her. SOMEONE REQUEST PLEASE

Warnings: swearing, violence, death, some guy pulls a mace window move

Sure, you were young, and sure, you'd never been senator before, but neither of those facts meant you couldn't protect yourself. Which is why you're not entirely sure why a jedi has been sent to guard you as if you're some helpless child. Crossing your arms, you lift your chin as the ship neatly comes into land, leaning against the wall as the wind from the jets blows your hair back.

Arching a brow, you watch as the jedi hops down from his ship, his little R2 unit following him smoothly as he strides up, his dark robes flapping. There's a certain air of arrogant confidence around him which tells you the two of you aren't going to get on well. You can't believe the Jedi Council's audacity. He's hardly older than you, how is he going to protect you, let alone himself?

'Senator Y/N?' He asks.

'Yes?' You reply sharply.

'I'm Anakin Skywalker, and I've been assigned to protect you, since attempted assassinations are likely to occur.'

You roll your eyes. 'Do you always talk like that, because if you do, I don't think I know a more mind numbing person. Anyways, it's beyond me why you're here, since I can protect myself.'

Turning on your heel, you stalk off, aware that he's practically stepping in your footsteps, he's so close to you. You manage to put up with it for about five minutes until you reach the 'fresher door and turn around to face him, exasperated.

'Are you going to fucking follow me into the 'fresher?'

'I don't know, depends what I get to see.'

'The only thing you're going to see is stars after I punch you in your smug face, jedi.'

'I'm sure I'd survive, Senator.'

'Are you calling me weak, jedi?'

'No, not at all, Senator,' he says, a smirk pulling at the corners of his lips as he takes a step back.

'Better not be,' you mutter, stepping into the 'fresher and slamming the door in his face.

You aren't quite sure what it is that wakes you, but suddenly you're tensed up in bed, squinting your eyes open. Aware of a black shadow silhouetted by the light leaking in from your window, you freeze.

It's an assassin. Who else would it be? Besides, you can see the glint of a blaster in their hand, and abruptly, you sit up in bed and launch yourself at them, the viroblade you keep under your pillow clenched between your fingers. The assassin grunts as you tackle them to the ground, knocking the blaster from their hand. A fist slams into your stomach, and you grunt as the air leaves your lungs momentarily. Aiming for their throat, viroblade flashing silver in the semi darkness, you lunge at the assassin as they scramble for their blaster.

The two of you are wrestling for the viroblade when you become aware of Anakin's presence. Or the presence of a lightsaber, anyway. Its hum fills the air moments before a calm voice sounds, just as you drive your knee into the assassin's crotch.

'Get off her or I scewer you, assassin.'

Gasping in pain, the assassin rolls off you, and you stand up and brush yourself off, glaring at Anakin, who smirks and holds his lightsaber to the assassin's neck.

'This is why I was sent to protect you, Senator.'

'All due respect, jedi, but I was dealing with that myself.'

'It didn't look like - '

A dark shape crashes in through the other window and lands straight on top of Anakin, and as he swings his lightsaber wildly, the other assassin springs up off the floor and leaps at you. Ducking, you drop into a crouch as the assassin runs at you again. Gritting your teeth, you lash out with the viroblade, but they twist at the last moment, and you miss anything vital. Quickly, you take one measured step back and kick out as the assassin charges you again, forcing them to the window. Pressing the viroblade to their neck, you fight over the blade, yet again. Without warning, you draw back and slam the pommel of the viroblade down on the assassin's head, stunning them enough that they overbalance and you can heave them out of the window.

Whirling around, you spot Anakin still struggling with the other one, and you jump neatly over the bed and bury your viroblade into the assassin's back. Disgruntled, Anakin shakes of the limp body and looks at you, smeared in blood and panting.

'Well, jedi?' You say, grinning at him playfully. 'You were saying something before we were so rudely interrupted?'

'I... Well, Senator, it seems...' He trails off, and you smile.

'Yes, it does seem as if I can protect myself.' You pause, stepping forward and nudging his shoulder lightly. 'Although it was nice to have you around for comedic relief, Ani.'
